In the five years that Amy has been the Design Director, she's designed more than 250 patterns for Berroco—many of which are available from our website, while others were designed for other publications, including Knitty (including her new pattern, Ascutney). She also oversaw all of the volumes of the Berroco Portfolio project, working with independent designers to celebrate classic Berroco yarns. As the Design Director, she plans all of our design collections, from creating mood boards for pattern inspiration to brainstorming and directing the photo shoots, and weighs in heavily on which new yarns we'll carry each season.

Amy is a powerhouse designer who can do anything—cables, colorwork, lace, and interesting basics, as demonstrated in Fidelia, Purga, Meryton, and Odele, some of the most popular of Amy's patterns for Berroco.
